Thread: What are you working on?

There ya go Mike, a blade to match the scales.

Even better. Blowing clear on the inside and outside works better that way.
Keep it light and frosty as-spraying. It will look more original.

Don't be surprised if it won't come apart as unpinning the bottom. Happens to me all the time.
It was not pinned at the bottom, as-original.
Someone has drilled and pinned a ton of these on the bottom, it seems.
I just repin and leave it be. Otherwise, I may break or screw-up something!

I've been honing 2 razors. I wanted to hone the King & I came across a Koken Army & Navy I had forgotten about so I decided to hone it also.





6/8" Koken Army & Navy

I'm doing a blade swap. I've got a 5/8 Buck Bros. I'm putting in them, that are in a set that are more for a 6/8 13/16.

These are more fitting to the blade. But too wide at the wedge, and swallows the blade.[emoji6]

Buck bros blade with scales that have bucks on them is rather Sympatico isn't it

The two half's are free to move, at the wedge. No glue on this one.!

Mike those look great the way you did them!
Looking forward to seeing the completed project. As usual, you never cease to amaze

So walls are up, texture applied except 1 corner we made a change to and coat of primer put on yesterday. I just applied a skim coat to the corner and calling it done so I don't fight myself. Now to texture the remaining area,primer and paint this weekend then on to flooring.
Next big project is trying to salvage from the cedar deck planks I got for free to white wash and line my baby girls closet.

Modified the built in wedge on the deer scales, pulled the Buck Bro. from its scales, and pinned it into the others with brass pins, and small ,domed, brass washers.

Hmm...not bad.!
Daddy, like.

But it washed off, clean as a whistle. So I took a chance with a brown, permanent marker, and a clean piece of paper towel, lightly dampened with denatured alcohol.

I'd color a section, rub it with my finger, then wipe with the paper towel and alcohol.
Once all was filled in, a made a few passes over the whole thing, to even it all out, and polished with a microfiber towel.

So my question is...
What ya think.?!
Can something else be done.?

Here's before n after.

I like the before better.

But what'd ya do..when the original washes away.

It grows on me more every day. Plus things will change with time and natural patina. ( dirt ) [emoji6]
